Something about polka dots makes me want to grab a burger and take my girls to the drive-in in my pink ’55 Chevy convertible! Okay, so this is only a fantasy, but why not pretend? Polka dots, big and small, are becoming a much-loved fashion trend of mine this spring. A stand-alone staple for generations, polka dots are now being paired with cute stripes or or prints for a contemporary twist! They’re always a fun addition to any outfit if you want to add a little something sweet to your ensemble.

Haute Dots: Large or bolder dots can add a little fun to a sophisticated party outfit, and smaller dots can add a playful effect to any outfit while making it a little more casual.

I love the first dress at the top, it’s so nice and the Marilyn Monroe style black and white dress too actually! As you can tell, I’m a huge polka dot fan and the fact that they are back in fashion is brilliant, not that it stopped me wearing them but more that I can refresh my existing collection. I’ve seen quite a few high street shops stocking up on their polka dots so as much as I’m happy, I can imagine that people in retail jobs may soon get bored of them.

I totally dig this idea, but . . . who writes the first letters you guys or us? (above says, you guys, although the email I got just said we write them.) What is the subject matter? Can we write about anything? I can imagine this is actually a lot cheaper than therapy or medication for some persons. Can we include pictures of our cats? How about recipes for vegan cupcakes? There is usually a chance I could possibly have interesting things to write about. What is the statistical probability that the reader will care? Good idea! You are all amazing. Please advise.
